    How to break habit of F2?

    Posted: 20 Apr 2020 12:55 AM PDT

    So, I'm trying to learn camera hotkeys and stop F2. After a game to try it out, I'm thinking I'll train one at a time. Is there any way to break the habit other than fumble again and again until I get used to it? Almost lost cos I forgot to add half my army to my control group. I play Protoss, sometimes I warp stuff in the middle of the fight and forget to add it to my group. Sometimes outside of fights I remember to add the warped in stuff but forget the robo units because they were rallied to a different point. A detailed explanation of how you guys manage it would be helpful.

    Can units take damage during the animation of viper's snatch ability?

    Posted: 19 Apr 2020 11:08 PM PDT

    Like, during the time the unit is being snatched, could a bunch of mutas kill it while it's in the air? Otherwise I don't see how yanking them is worthwhile for siege tanks into hydras, because they just blow them all up.

    Looking for a few specific VoDs, and recommendations of epic moments.

    Posted: 19 Apr 2020 11:05 PM PDT

    So I'm getting my GF into Starcraft. She's playing through BW campaign right now, getting to SC2 soon. I want to show her some of the most epic competitive moments from the pro scene of both games. I found a few compilations, but I don't think they do the featured matches justice. Do you guys have any particular favorite VoDs of pro matches with epic outcomes or moments you'd recommend? I haven't watched any pro gameplay in years, so I'm having trouble remembering. Prior to this last 9 months, I hadn't touched any Starcraft since maybe 2014? So I'm a bit out of the loop with some of the crazy stuff that happened, and I only see a lot of the same stuff pop up when I ask overlord Google.

    And if anyone remembers/has the VoDs for these particular SC2 matches that come to mind, I'd be eternally grateful... I don't remember who played in these games, but I remember the scenarios. >.>

    1- A terran nuked themselves by accident, I think this was pretty early on in WoL, probably at an MLG.
    2- One player, close to death, manages to rebuild on an island and come back to some degree. I don't think they won the game, but they put up a solid fight. Also WoL iirc.
    3- The first time a zerg managed to (in a tournament setting) race-steal by neural-parasite-snatching a worker and building a base. I want to say this was end of WoL, early HotS.

    Test Run: Removing Energy as a Game Mechanic

    Posted: 19 Apr 2020 04:58 PM PDT

    So I not sure if this had been brought up before but I've had the idea of removing energy for a custom campaign I've been planning on. Instead all abilities will run on a cooldown and cloaking would be turned into a mode that the player can trigger on or off at the cost of that unit not being able to attack while cloaked.

    I'm working on making a map so that people can test out the effected units. But first I'll just throw out here my planned changes.

    -Defilers: Dark Swarm and Plague on a cooldown and add Consume but it deals 100 damage to target unit and heals the Defiler 50 health.

    -Queen (Classic): Parasite, Ensnare, Spawn Broodling and Contaminate and the Queen requires a Lair to unlock.

    -Overlord gets Detect back and gains Spawn Creep Tumor. Unlocks Mutate Ventral Sacs with a Lair.

    -Sentry: Keeps Guardian Shield and Force Field but gets Graviton Beam as an unlockable power from the Cybernetics Core.

    -High Templar: Psionic Storm, Hallucination and Feedback but it does 100 damage to a single target.

    -Dark Templar: Bend Light, which lets Dark Templar cloak but can't attack while it's active and Void Stasis. DT is unlocked with Templar Archive.

    -Observer: Can decloak to pull enemy units.

    -Arbiter: Increase basic attack to 15 +15 vs Armored per second. Keeps only Stasis and Recall.

    -Medic: Heals at a rate on 1 per secound.

    -Ghost: Cloaking like with the DT is permanent but while on, Ghosts can't preform basic attacks. Snipe is on a cooldown so is EMP Round is a stun for mechanical units.

    -Wraith: Like ghosts can't attack while cloaked but will probably have an extra ablility, though haven't picked one out yet.

    -Medivac will be converted into a regular dropship with Rapid Deployment or Detection.

    -Viking will be reworked into a Valerie replacement with splash damage anti-air basic attack and the Seeker Missile ability on cooldoown.

    -Science Vessel: Detector, Nano Repair ( Like Medic 1 per secound.), Irradiate and Defense Matrix on cooldown. Requires Fusion Core

    -Battlecruiser: Like they've already done in multiplayer, turn Yamato Cannon into a cooldown ability.

    Looking for an old professional game with a hilarious fail.

    Posted: 19 Apr 2020 12:59 PM PDT

    I remember a pro game from a couple of years ago, probably 2016-2017. It was a PvT where the Protoss was quite far ahead and had done some damage with a Glaive Adept attack. The Protoss shades the adepts up the ramp to the main and they clump up and get splashed by both widow mines and siege tanks and die very quickly. It's a fun moment but I've forgotten where I saw it. I believe it was in a korean league, possibly SSL, VSL or GSL. I remember it was highlighted somewhere but I can't find it. Does anyone know where to find this game?
